Style 2521:
A new acetate style for men in a fashionable square shape. A double bridge, partly matte, partly high-gloss, creates fascinating contrasts. Four trendy color concepts in masculine grey and brown tones perfectly highlight this model’s casual style. It couldn’t be more eye-catching.

Johnson & Johnson Vision announced on Tuesday May 22 the Canadian launch of jnjvisionpro.ca, a bilingual digital platform that delivers online learning, patient education materials, practice resources and connected commerce – all aimed at streamlining and simplifying the online experience for thousands of Eye Care Professionals.
Many Eye Care Professionals currently engage with multiple online sites to do business with a single company, which can be burdensome to a practice and take away from valuable time with patients. jnjvisionpro.ca is a single destination offering in-office support for Eye Care Professionals – especially optometrists and their staff – in managing the diverse needs of their practices, including:
“In a busy optometric practice, our goal is to maximize the time we can spend with our patients delivering care, and minimize time we spend on administrative tasks,” said Dr. Kent Prete, OD of Calgary Optometry Centre in Calgary, AB. “With jnjvisionpro.ca, we have one place to go to order products, manage our partnership programs and access educational materials for the staff and for our patients. Having all these resources together means less time searching for the right website or app and more time focusing on our patients.”
Jnjvisionpro.ca will continue to evolve to support the fast-moving eye health industry, adding new online learning options, resources for patients and practices and other personalized tools based on user feedback. Visit jnjvisionpro.ca to learn more and register for access.
